About Wes
Hi! I’m Wes, an undergraduate first-year Classics (and soon also Business) major at the University of Florida (UF) in Gainesville. I absolutely love the Classics, and not just for its practical benefits. Latin makes one a better writer and a better thinker: but more than that, learning to read ancient literature in its original language exposes you to (literally) a whole different world of religion, culture, and history that will fascinate you, keep you entertained, and provide a constant source of pleasure your entire life. You are a traveler in the ancient world and every little thing you learn is another big discovery: the whole thing is very exciting.
I started learning Latin with a private tutor in 7th grade, with whom I’ve continued lessons up to the present (alternating between Latin and Ancient Greek since 9th grade, when I received the highest score, a 5, on the AP Latin Exam). I have studied Roman history on my own for just about as long. More recently, I have audited graduate-level Latin and Ancient Greek courses at UF; in my second semester here I am also an enrolled student in a graduate Latin class.

I have inherited a certain approach to Latin tutoring from the tutor with whom I have studied it since 7th grade - I know what works, what does not, and what both tutor and student must do to ensure success. Starting with a textbook and then with Latin-to-English translation of easier ancient texts, the student will move on when ready to the great Classics of Latin literature, accompanied all the way with historical and cultural instruction to fill out the Classical education. Exercises by way of practice would include independent work (such as writing in Latin as a way of learning how to think in the language), should the student desire this. There will be an emphasis both on the understanding of texts and on their appreciation.
Whether it’s for a class or just as a hobby (as it was for me), it would be a joy to teach you Latin and give what it has given me. Please contact me with any questions, for further information, or to discuss the rate.
